API, African Press International, has a new article up stating they are confirming Obama was born in Mombasa, Kenya. I am neither confirming or denying the contents of this story as written. However, I am certain that Barack Obama was born in Kenya. Here are some exerpts:

“Charmed his way to the Presidency: API asks Barack Obama born in Mombasa to a Kenyan National to come clean on the citizenship issue.
Posted by africanpress on November 6, 2008

We can now confirm that Mr Barack Hussein Obama, the US President-Elect was born in Mombasa, Kenya. Charming his way to the US Presidency, Mr Obama made it. Now is the time to come clean about his birth place and citizenship by birth. This thing will not go away, he has to deal with it now so that the people suing him may leave him to concentrate in politics. The American people has the right to know his real identity. Probably they will forgive and let him govern. If they were to remove him, it is now known fact that it is possible for a black man to conquer America. You have made your point. Now tell them the truth. Obama must remember that if he doesÂ not do it, the truth will be revealed by others and the Michelle Obama tape also says a lot.

Remember if he does not do it now, people will not allow him to be in peace. There will always be lawsuits here and there in many States and that will disturb him and his administration. Some States that did not vote for him may decide to boycott his adminstration and some may decide to ignore his orders and revolt declaring themselves independent States during his presidency, only to return to the Union after his time is over in The White House – or “The Black House” – if he decides to bring change there also, now that he has said he will change everything in Washington.

Fear has forced many people not to talk about things they know. People have been silenced corruptly in order not speak out on this issue just because there was an outcry before the elections to conquer America. Yes, to get the first Muslim black man to lead the only super power in the world was given priority.”

“Barack Obama, a good son of Africa was born in Mombasa, Kenya where his late father and mother were on holiday. While on holiday in Kenya having returned from the US where he was studying, Obama’s father, after he had introduced his wife to his Kenyan family in Nyanza Province, the couple decided to visit Mombasa, the Coastal town of Kenya, a popular holiday spot before they were to return to the US. Obama’s father visited the town the same week Mombasa Muslims had a week long Muslim festivities. Obama was born earlier than expected. While in Mombasa enjoying the Muslim festivities, the couple were exposed to gruelling Mombasa heat.

For a pregnant woman, that heat made her very uncomfortable. The only thing to help cool the heat penetrating into her body was to swim as often as possible at the popular Mombasa tourist beach, where most tourists relax when in Mombasa. It was good for her to swim away the heat but the unexpected happened due to that swim. The swim caused early labor forcing an abrupt birth of Barack Obama. He was immediately blessed by the Imam who was leading the festivities and given the name Hussein.

What the senior Obama and his wife did not know was that the coastal heat would cause early labor forcing the birth of their son Barack. They decided to cancel their trip back to the US and stayed in Kenya for a long period of time.

On their return to the US the couple settled down but it was not long before their marriage collapsed. When Obama’s mother found herself alone and bringing up a mixed child during the time it was not popular for a white woman to bear a mixed child in the US, she chose to get an Indonesian man to give her comfort.

The man took her back to her country, Indonesia and Obama remained with his grandmother in the US. A mother is a mother and it was not different with Obama’s mother – she longed for her son and asked for him to join her in Indonesia.

The young Obama had to go to school and the easiest way to do so was to be adopted by his stepfather. When he was adopted his Kenyan citizenship was not changed. His name “Hussein” helped him to get along in Indonesia. Kenya does not allow dual citizenship and all children born to a Kenyan man in Kenya and also in some foreign countries automatically get the Kenyan citizenship.”

The American Constitution does not allow a foreign born individual to become the President, but in this case, many Americans were charmed by Obama and they decided to ignore the Constitution this time around. This election now opens the door to all naturalized Americans to seek for the highest office in the land in future elections

Obama’s presidency will have to give priority to change constitution immediately to enable Obama to govern the country legally and become the Commander-in-Chief of the US Armed Forces.

Luck is on Obama’s side. The Democrats are in the majority led by Pelosi and making changes to the Constitution will sail through easily in the house.”

When I first reported on the alleged Michelle Obama telephone conversation
with API, African Press International, and the alleged tapes of the
conversation, several people asked why I reported it. My answer was
simple. It is news no matter how it plays out. It is still news and I
believe reveals more attempts by the Obama camp to create diversions and
lies and discredit those questioning Obama, the “messiah”.

I waited to give the story a chance to play out before making judgement.
However, some new insights have been provided to me. Below is what I
believe API is about and up to. Once again, this is what the facts lead
me to believe. API has 24 hours to repudiate what I state with facts.

When I first read the API allegations, I immediately posted a comment
on their blog and asked if they could prove it.

I have never stated that I believed the story. I did offer to help them.

Philip J Berg offered his service to API on the condition that API
provide the tapes.

According to a reliable source, API has not provided the tapes to Mr. Berg.

According to a reliable source, API has not provided the tapes to Fox News.

According to a reliable source, Mr. Berg is not cocounsel with any attorney in this matter. API posted this comment on October 27, 2008: “Due to the sensitive nature of the tapes, API will now have a total of 3 active legal representatives. A Canadian born Lawyer has been appointed to head the API legal team. Two US born lawyers (Attorney Berg) and (Attorney Dowd of Washington) will be assisting the Canadian born Attorney.” Either API is lying, someone is confused or this is a smokescreen.

I was notified recently, that API approved a comment that made lying,
slanderous accusations about Citizen Wells and other bloggers. API moderates all comments. API will be held accountable as well as the person posting the comment. I contacted API and have received no response.

Therefore, I have come to the following conclusion:

No tapes exist.

The story about Michelle Obama contacting API is a fabrication and is
a ploy by API, the Obama camp and probably Raila Odinga.

The allegation by API is straight out of the playbook of the Obama camp
and Odinga’s ODM party. Diversions, lies and personal attacks.

Part of the plan was to portray those questioning Obama as racist and to
discredit others such as Philip J Berg.

The API site and article were used as a forum to get traffic and promote
the Obama camp agenda.

Here is a remark from Jeff Schreiber:

“Yes, I know that African Press International is once again trying to stir the pot by stating that the notorious Michelle Obama tapes will be released by Fox News within the next few days. Yes, I know that Bill O’Reilly claims to have “big news” this week. No, I do not know if the two are related, but I suspect not.

Please note that I still do not believe that the Michelle Obama tapes really exist. It just doesn’t make sense, any of it. That being said, I would happily–HAPPILY!!–admit that I am wrong once I, and the rest of the American public, hear otherwise. If I am wrong, professionalism be damned, I will post a goofy picture of myself, grinning from ear to ear, and admitting my error.

Philip J Berg has been interviewed by the Fox News Channel in New York. Mr. Berg discussed the interview, his lawsuit stating that Obama is not eligible to be president and the US Supreme Court with Jeff Schreiber. Here are some exerpts:

“I spoke with Philip Berg this afternoon as he sat in his office, awaiting a crew from Fox News Channel in New York. While interest in his lawsuit among those at Fox has been steadily mounting over the past few days and weeks, Berg does not know exactly in what capacity the end product of the taping will be used.

“At this point,” Berg said, “the nation just needs to know that Mr. Obama is not eligible to serve as president of the United States, that he has so far successfully hidden behind procedure, and that we could very well be headed toward a constitutional crisis unless this is addressed.”

And he is indeed working toward ensuring that the issue is addressed, Berg said, and has been spending the past few days preparing for his appeal to the United States Supreme Court, a move which could happen by the end of the week. This, of course, has caused him to shift other items to the proverbial back burner, including but not limited to the so-called Michelle Obama tapes purportedly possessed by editorial staff at African Press International.”

“In the unlikely event, though, that four of the nine Supreme Court Justices decide to hear the case, Berg will first have to establish that, contrary to the arguments put forth by Barack Obama and the DNC and the specifics of the decision rendered by the Hon. R. Barclay Surrick, he indeed has standing to sue. As I’ve pointed out in these pages before, the standing doctrine as it stands today does not bode well for Philip Berg.
To have standing, a plaintiff must satisfy a three-prong test. He or she must prove (1) injury in fact, (2) causation, and (3) redressibility — that they’ve sustained more than just general harm, that the harm can be traced to the conduct of the defendant, and that adjudication of the matter can provide a remedy to that harm. Berg’s biggest hurdle, so far, has been establishing injury in fact.”

“In the past, the United States Supreme Court has held that a plaintiff must have a “personal stake” in the matter being adjudicated. This, of course, is to ensure that the matter belongs before the court in the first place. More recently, however, the Court has paid greater attention to, and awarded standing for, plaintiffs who can show enough of an injury so as to provide something along the lines of a good contest among legal rivals.”

Motion for Summary Judgment, API Just Won’t Go Away, and Rumblings from the Court

As of 11:00 this morning, Philip Berg had done three radio interviews, the last of which was a half-hour spot on G. Gordon Liddy’s popular program. Later today, he will be the subject of a piece by a CBS affiliate in Anchorage, AK.

I spoke with Berg immediately after his Liddy spot, and he mentioned two things of note. First, he plans to file a motion for summary judgment with the court today. Second, he has been in contact with African Press International and, as we spoke, his staff was working with the API staff on the electronic transfer of the alleged Michelle Obama tape.

On the motion for summary judgment, I will bring details here as soon as I know anything further. Berg had hoped to file early this morning, as he did for yesterday’s motions, but certain circumstances prevented it.”

“”We are working with computer people and Chief Editor Korir over at African Press International as we speak so the audio file can be transfered over to us for distribution,” Berg said. “They say the information on there is far more extensive than just the things they reported, but before I do anything with it I want to review it in full.””

First of all, Citizen Wells has been attacked for simply reporting the news. This is the hallmark of the Obama camp. When API, African Press International, first reported they had been contacted by Michelle Obama, I asked them if they could prove it. They have always been respectful and forthright with me. There latest update indicates they are in negotiations with Fox News to release the tape. Here is the news release:

“Michelle Obama tapes’ imminent release approaching: API in a serious negotiation with FOX NEWS on the best way forward
Posted by africanpress on October 21, 2008

API has an ongoing discussion with FOX NEWS on the best way forward in the process of releasing Michelle Obama tapes to the American people.

API hopes the negotiation will be completed as soon as possible so that the tapes can be made available to FOX NEWS in the next few days and specifically before the voting day – the 4th of November.

API will make use of Legal Representation in the US when finalising the hand-over of the tapes and on any legal matters that may arise after the contents of the tapes become public.

We want to thank all our readers – those who have managed to be patient and also those who have exhibited total impatience. We assure them that an agreement will be reached soon between API and FOX NEWS one way or another, so that API fulfills the promise it gave to the readers.

The important thing we want the readers to know is how the tapes will be handled once it finally leaves API’s custody. API has confidence in FOX NEWS and will allow them to decide whether the tapes will be aired in full, edited or unedited. Once the tapes are released to FOX NEWS as per agreement that will be arrived at between the parties, API believes that FOX NEWS is competent enough to decide on how to proceed in handling the tapes because – better than us in API – they know what is best for the American listeners.

Some may not understand why this has taken long to accomplish. Sensitive issues requires careful steps so that nobody gets hurt in the process. People have questioned why the delay. API wanted to take time and make a good choice on the way forward and we can now happily say we are on the right track and hopefully you do not have to wait for long before your wishes are fulfilled.

Now that the release of the tapes is imminent, as soon as an agreement is reached, API hopes that those who finally gets access to its contents will use them wisely, in a way that brings the American people closer to one another despite their political allienation and to be above racial behaviour and work together for a better United American Nation. API does not wish to see the information from the tapes being misused by those who may wish to satisfy their own interests and achieve a particular aim.

The release of the tapes will take place without costs to any one. The negotiation between API and FOX NEWS bears no sign of money involved and that has been API’s wish all along.
